About the Artists
Darrell Grant & "On The Territory"
The music of pianist/vocalist Darrell Grant's new group "On the Territory" is a diverse and beautiful landscape, where jazz, blues, gospel, folk, classical, and rock music are the rivers, valleys, mountain peaks, and quiet retreats. The band reinvents songs by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, John Lennon, Keith Jarreet, and others that share a reflection on place and a beauty that speaks to our life and times. (with Cameron Morgan—guitar, Sam Howard—bass, John Nastos—saxophones, Ji Tanzer—drums, and Maureen Kelly Frary—vocals).
Lynn Darroch
A contributor to the Oregonian, KMHD radio host and Jazzscene editor, Lynn Darroch presents musical stories that bring to life jazz and Latin music heroes (including Ray Charles and Ruben Blades), Mexican schoolteachers and immigrant children, as well as the people and places that define the Oregon experience—in live performances and on CD, including Local Heroes/American Originals. He'll be joined by Portland pianist, composer, vocalist, and recording engineer Jonathan Swanson in an interplay of words and music accompanied by photographs moving in tandem with them.
Kabir Green
Filled with all the love, loss, and life that his generation is heir to, singer/songwriter Kabir Green's songs break free of cynicism and encourage trust in our human spirit and ability to relate to each other. His latest CD is The Five Dollar Club. He will appear with Jed Wilson—keyboards, Russ Kleiner—drums, and Sam Howard—bass.
